Princess Point Complex
This study defines an early Late Woodland manifestation in southwestern Ontario, the Princess Point Complex. This complex is seen as an early developmental stage of the Ontario Iroquois Tradition. Evidence is presented for changing subsistence and settlement patterns in response to the introduction of maize horticulture.
Cultural Responses to Altithermal (Atlantic) Climate Along the Eastern Margins of the North American Grasslands: 5500 to 3000 B.C.
Palaeo-ecological data from central North America are synthesized in order to demonstrate the effects of the Altithermal or Atlantic Climatic Episode (circa 5500 to 3000 B.C). on vegetation. Against this environmental backdrop, Early Middle Prehistoric archaeological complexes are considered with particular attention to site setting, exploitation strategies and site distribution with comparisons to both earlier (Plano) and later (late Middle Prehistoric) complexes in the same region.
Marriage Patterns in an Archaic Population
This study is based on the premise that marriage patterns determine the composition of the adult segment of hunter-gatherer groups, and that the composition is reflected in the expression of osteological traits within and between sexes. Analysis of metric and non-metric traits in adult skeletons from Locus II of the Port au Choix3 site suggest the practice of exogamy coupled with a virilocal post-nuptial marriage pattern.
Palaeoeskimo Occupations at Port Refuge, High Arctic Canada
Port Refuge is a small bay on the south coast of Grinnell Peninsula, Devon Island, in the High Arctic. Archaeological work between 1972 and 1977 recovered remains of several prehistoric occupations of this area, which are ascribed to the Independence I, Pre-Dorset, Independence II/early Dorset, late Dorset and Thule cultures. This report describes the archaeological material relating to the early Arctic Small Tool tradition occupations.
Archaeological Investigations at the Atigun Site, Central Brooks Range, Alaska
Analysis of the Atigun site based on work conducted in 1973 and 1974 on the North Slope of the Central Brooks Range, Alaska. The Atigun site is marginal to both Native and Inuit territory, thus the primary concern of this analysis is the cultural affiliation of its occupants. Conclusions point to late summer occupation of the site by Athapaskans between A.D. 1400 and A.D. 1800. This period is defined as the Kavik phase.
Taphonomy and Archaeology in the Upper Pleistocene of the Northern Yukon Territory
The concept of taphonomy has been borrowed from paleontology and applied to the analysis of vertebrate fossils from the Old Crow region of the northern Yukon Territory. By means of this approach, archaeologically significant specimens have been isolated from the larger suite of materials which can be explained entirely in terms of natural processes. The analysis indicates that human occupation began in eastern Beringia more than 50,000 years ago and probably was continuous from that time onward, but primary archaeological deposits will be needed to clarify the historical and paleo-environmental significance of these finds.
Canadian Archaeological Radiocarbon Dates
An expanded and revised compilation of Canadian archaeological radiocarbon dates including those of the first publication in 1969 to the spring of 1976. Sites are arranged alphabetically by province or territory. An index of Borden Site Designation System numbers is provided.
